Question ANIMALS MISSING - HELP

I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of what's going on in my Salt Water tank.

So the tank itself is a Biocube 18-1/4"L x 17"W x 18-1/4"H


I currently have in the tank:

2 large pieces of live rock
(first was purchased when I got the tank March 2012, and the second June 2013)

a fairy wrasse
Purchased only a few weeks ago july 2014

a baby clown
Purchased only a few weeks ago july 2014

2 chocolate chip starfish
First purchased when I bought tank March 2012

and several hermit crabs which have been bought at various points to keep the sand clean




Anyway... This all started back in February of this year...I had 2 clowns at that point and one of them went missing...checked the overflow and filters. Couldn't find him.

Then in March, my fiance got me a baby snowflake eel for my tank...he only existed for a couple of weeks before he vanished as well.


Take in mind this all happened over night

We recently bought another clown for our lonely clown AND the fairy wrasse. And the lonely clown goes missing as well.



Our starfish are fed on a regular basis of clams and shrimp plus they are slow eaters..I would have found part of their bodies from night to morning.



Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will be buying an ammonia test kit this weekend to see if there are any spikes
